- The product is expected to commercialize in the US, Australia and New Zealand in July 2020, and in the UK, Spain, Germany and France this August. Sonosite has received nearly 600 leads (and counting) from healthcare providers and medical facilities in the U.S. [and ANZ].
FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., specialists in developing cutting-edge point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solutions, and part of the larger Fujifilm Healthcare portfolio, has announced the launch of the new Sonosite PX ultrasound system. Sonosite PX is the next generation in Sonosite POCUS, with the most advanced image clarity ever seen in a Sonosite system, a suite of workflow efficiency features, and an adaptable form factor.
Designed Specifically for Front-Line Clinicians
The ultrasound system and the new family of transducers are drop-tested to one meter and the work surface is sealed to the edge for simplified cleaning and disinfection. When mounted on the specialized stand, Sonosite PX has an adaptable worksurface position for optimal clinician ergonomics while a small footprint and adjustable height allow for closer bedside access. Information essential to completing an exam including patient information, reports, and worksheets, is intuitively placed in one location, saving clinicians time and effort when navigating the ultrasound system user interface.
Recognizing the importance of efficient documentation to the electronic health record (EHR), Sonosite PX has been designed for onboard documentation of ultrasound findings at the bedside. Sonosite PX integrates seamlessly with the company’s Sonosite Synchronicity solution, a workflow manager for POCUS that supports seamless credentialing, quality assurance, and billing across departments and institutions.
An overview of the system’s competitive features include:

Exceptional Imaging Clarity – as a result of advanced speckle reduction technology. Seeing anatomy more clearly provides clinicians with an unparalleled level of confidence for diagnostic and procedural applications.
Suite of Workflow Efficiency Features – the streamlined user interface improves workflow, allowing even novice clinicians to find controls quickly with fewer touches.
Adaptable Form Factor – designed to optimize clinician ergonomics and improve efficiency, the system has an adaptable work surface that can be used in a horizontal or vertical position based on the situational needs of the exam.
Why It Matters
Today, POCUS is quickly emerging as a reliable and critical tool to diagnose, monitor, and manage patients in emergency departments and those admitted to inpatient services. Sonosite’s newest bleeding-edge system presents a new world where POCUS is no longer looked at as a device- but rather a partner for clinicians.
“Every aspect of Sonosite PX was designed specifically for the clinicians on the front lines of medicine. We designed Sonosite PX as a tool to help clinicians in all fields of medicine to treat patients more effectively where it matters most – at the point of care.” said Rich Fabian, President and Chief Operating Officer of FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. “To optimize clinician ergonomics and improve efficiency, the system has an innovative and adaptable work surface that can be used in a horizontal or vertical position based on the situational needs of the exam. The exceptional image clarity is the result of a new proprietary imaging technology – seeing anatomy more clearly with Sonosite PX provides an unparalleled level of confidence for diagnostic and procedural applications.”
Commercial Roll-Out Plans
The product is expected to commercialize in the US, Australia and New Zealand in July 2020, and in the UK, Spain, Germany and France this August. Sonosite has received nearly 600 leads (and counting) from healthcare providers and medical facilities in the U.S. [and ANZ].
